lifting, by itself, shouldn't affect the speedo

Message:
If you originally had 265/70-16, then when your speedometer indicates 58, you're actually doing 60. A 5 MPH difference would not happen until your speedometer indicates 125: then you'd actually be going 130.

If your vehicle had a different size, what was it, and we can figure it again.

Christian - it will read slightly slower than the speed you are going.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

christian, since your tire size was that small, i'm guessing you have a genI or genII dakota. If that's the case, you can change the speedometer gear in the transmission where the speedometer cable goes into the tailshaft.
